  1. I really liked how both Tyler and Brian showed how many things Elon is involved with. They discussed details about a few of his different companies, which before I didn't realize were founded by the same person. I was amazed how much Elon has accomplished, but I like that we saw how he's also hit rock bottom before. I think you both made a good comparison of the things he's done and showed us why he's a true visionary. As for suggestions I felt it was a little odd that you switched out with every slide, for me it felt like an interruption having you constantly readjust. If each of you had spoken for a few slides or maybe a specific topic it would have helped in my opinion.

  2. The best part of their presentation was how they shared the distinct facts that made Elon who he is today. They did a nice job giving a thorough understanding of who he is and what he means to society. With that however, I thought they might've included a few unnecessary things making the presentation a bit "overloaded" with information.

  4. I learned quite a lot during this presentation as I have never heard of Elon Musk yet had used his pay pal hundreds of times. I thought it was super interesting that he pursued his endeavors as such a young age. I thought they way they presented this was very interesting, in a almost time line manner but was very captivating. Would introduce a topic and explain it later. One thing I would encourage them to do next time is to not include so much text on the slides next time. I was distracted at times reading your information rather than listening to what you were saying. Great job though!

  5. I thought you guys had a really good presentation. I learned a lot about Elon Musk and it was evident that you guys knew a lot of information on him. I liked how you guys included the part that he went bankrupt for a little bit. One thing i would suggest is to maybe take out some information because it was a little hard to keep up with at times. Maybe take out the information about his personal life like the divorce with his wife. Other than that it was really good

  6. I think your presentation was packed full of information on Elon Musk. Before this I had no idea who he was or what he did. It's nice to finally put a name with paypal and how that was started. I found it particularly interesting that he came all the way from Africa because he was interested in American culture. I knew America had a lot going from it, but its different learning about the travels of individuals who came to America. I was lost at throughout the beginning of the presentation. I think it would have been good to get some back ground about his interests first to gain a better understanding of what type of work he does.

  7. I feel like a learned a lot about Elon Musk, whom I have never heard of before. Its funny hearing so much about Paypal or Tesla and not knowing much about Elon. I felt like you guys had great slides, with good pictures and just the right amount of information. I also liked the way you guys introduced Elon and explaining who he is, being someone who knew nothing about him. I thought that one group member knew the material a lot better than the other, and one had to rely on the slides too much.

  8. At first, I did not know much about this person but after your guys' presentation, I have learned so much. I liked how the presentation went, it kept me fascinated and wanted to make me learn much more about this person. At a young age, he is able to do all of this makes me envy him and I give him props for what he has done. You guys understood who Elon Musk is and have evidence to provide details about him. The organization of the presentation was good but the what you could've fixed was the unnecessary details about his personal life. Even though they were factors of the decline of his career, they weren't major. I really liked it and good work.

  9. You guys had a lot of good information in your presentation. I liked how you went into detail about how involved he was with his different companies, such as paypal and Tesla. I also liked how you guys described who he was as a person (magnate!). It gave me a good glimpse of what he was like. One thing I think you could have worked on was to maybe be a little more prepared. It kind of seemed as if one of you did more work than the other. But other than that you guys did a really good job! Oh, and your closing quote was really good. It gave a pretty good look at his overall life-both the good and the bad times.

  10. Elon Musk is one my idols so I hope I do not act too harsh. Anyways I enjoyed the presentation because I learned a lot more about his ventures, and the things he had done.I already had known about space x, Tesla, and the whole solar plan so most of it was not completely new to me. I like how you mentioned how he sort of showed the signs of an innovator in his early years, and talked a little bit about his past programming ventures. The only thing that you guys could have edited were his struggles. You guys mentioned divorces a lot of the times, sure they are significant, but there were other issues Elon faced that probably were more significant. One of the biggest problems Elon faced that still haunts him is that his idols Neil Armstrong and the first few space travelers he admired all wanted NASA to not fund space x. They did not want a private company to travel to space and this hurt him deeply. He started crying in his interview with 60 minutes, so that's why I thought it was very strong issue that he dealt with. Other than that one things I enjoyed the presentation, and Elon is the best!

  11. You choose a very good person to talk about. I had never heard of him until the 60 minutes story on him. You did a great job explaining all of his ways of making money and his idea for the future. The idea of pay pal is amazing. I use it all the time. The thing I would have liked more would be to see more picture in your presentation. Good job though.

  12. You guys did a very good job. I think the thing I liked most about your presentation was the way you presented it: very chronological and only stated the biggest events. Short, effective, and in my mind, pretty strong. It actually did make me look into tesla a little bit after the fact. I can't really think of a criticism, But something you might have been able to do better was going into maybe a little more detail about the projects he worked on, and the motivation and innovation behind them.
